Hire them. You will not regret it for a second.

Hart Levin and his team are THE BEST in the business. If you are looking for an EXCELLENT and RELIABLE law firm you can TRUST, you have found it! I truly felt supported every step of the way with everything I needed since day one. I was feeling so anxious, lost and stressed out when I got my DUI, but... they always made the process feel smooth and straightforward. They are very communicative, which I loved and made me feel more at ease. They constantly kept me in the loop, and they always took the time to explain and answer whatever question or concern I had over the phone or via email. Also, if you are worried about payments don’t be! They have payment plans! A huge shout-out to Hart, Jeremy, Wendy and Juan for helping me through it all and always making me feel heard, understood and supported - can’t tell you how much I valued your time and effort! Hart and his team helped me in more ways than I can explain in this review - not only because they are great lawyers, but also because they are kind and caring human beings. I am beyond grateful for everything they did and continue doing for my DUI case. Hire them. You will not regret it for a second.

A billion thanks

The quality of the service requested was unmatched. All of my questions were answered, and not once did I feel like I was left in the dark. I was looking for a lawyer to get my case expunged to get back on track regarding education, and I turned to Hart J Levin. If you’re worried about payments, plea...se don’t because they offer monthly payments! It doesn’t have to be up front. They were ever so patient, I truly value their time and efforts. The anxiety, gone! God bless you all, a million thanks to you guys! 100000000% HIGHLY recommended!!

Heaven Sent Super Lawyer !

I Hired Hart Levin to represent me in DUI case back 2021 ,before I hired Hart Levin I had a different attorney named Matthew Ruff , horrible Lawyer by the way unprofessional and left me hanging in court one day, anyways so I decided to search for a different one and came across Hart Levin so I gave h...im a call and right off the bat he started talking to me in a very professional manner and very understanding to my situation , I felt relieved and secure that my case was going to get handled by people I could trust . I crashed while under the influence , My BAC was almost .19 if I recall correctly, Hart Levin fought in court for me and was able to keep me out of court , with only two days of community service and a 3 month dui program, 3 months only ! That’s a hell of a deal if you ask me and no jail Time. Hart Levin has a great team of professional skilled lawyers and other staff . You can’t go wrong by Hiring Hart Levin and his Legal team . He does payment plans and is very supportive , he goes the extra mile for you ! Attorney Darren King is a phenomenal lawyer as well and I’ve been in court with him and gets lots of respect from the DAs and judges!

Great, fast, and easy service!

I contacted Hart Levin to have a misdemeanor DUI expunged that I had from a few years ago, which has been my only encounter ever in my life with the law. I knew beforehand that if I were to not have the DUI dismissed that it would likely affect my future employment prospects, so I decided to have it ...expunged. I made the call and was transferred over to Hart by the assistant to answer any questions, my case information was accounted for and taken on their end, I filled out and signed the necessary paperwork, and one month later I received notification from Hart that my DUI was dismissed by the court! I thought it would take months to have my case dismissed based on the research I did prior regarding expungement, but it came to fruition just one month after the initial phone call I made! Pricing was reasonable relative to other firms I researched and I'm grateful for the fact that payment plans were an option. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation as I was in, and if you think you wont have the time, knowledge, or resources required to potentially expunge a case on your own (depending on your circumstances), then I recommend hiring Hart Levin.

Awesome Criminal Attorney!!!

What can I say? Hart Levin and his team are great and honest attorneys. Unfortunately, I am a repeat client of Hart and can say that with each experience he gains more and more of my trust and confidence. I have used him for both a DUI and a criminal case. Most recently, Hart and his team helped me i...n a felony case and fought diligently to have it dropped to a misdemeanor with very minimal conditions. I felt my life was over and after talking with Hart I felt better and knew he didn't judge me or wasn't taking my case just to get paid. This guy really cares about his clients. He will not tell you what you want to hear and make promises for any outcomes. Indira is very helpful with working with you and the payment plan. Thank you Hart and Matthew. You guys are amazing! I really do appreciate you!

"I have worked with criminal defense attorneys, civil litigators, and quite a few corporate attorneys throughout my time practicing. When I secured Hart's services for a friend of mine, I was expecting a criminal defense attorney with the same approach as every other criminal defense attorney out there. This certainly was not the case. From the moment my friend starting working with Hart I noticed something different about his approach with clients, he is engaging, proactive, and always communicative. Now, the prior may not seem very impressive, but when one considers how many clients he works with and how many different matters he addresses, it is thoroughly impressive. His ability to engage with the client, take charge of the situation, and provide the guidance necessary to resolve the issue presented in an expedient manner is second to none. I WHOLLY endorse Hart Levin for any of your criminal defense needs."
